Hardwick sold Nerdist Industries to Legendary Entertainment about a decade 
ago, and he stepped down from any executive position back in 2015, well 
before the 'unpleasantness'.  

IIRC, Funny or Die was involved with production of the original @midnight, 
so it makes sense that they'd retain the rights.  Tom Lennon was also an 
EP, although I don't really if he'd be involved with the reboot.

I was also a fan of @midnight and I’m even a fan of Chris Hardwick. I liked
@midnight for the same reason I liked Lights Out With David Spade. It gave
me a chance to see a bunch of new comedians.
Hardwick’s company helped produce @midnight. It was part of his empire that
included his podcast and Nerdmelt. I wonder if he couldn’t do that at CBS.

Hardwick was cleared by his family’s personal attorneys, so if you believe
the people he paid to defend him were fair and impartial, he was cleared.
If you take literally anybody else at their word, Hardwick is a sleazebag
who should be daily kicked in the gonads.

I'll admit that I liked it, too, although I only watched occasionally (mainly 
when a comedian I really liked was among the "competitors").

I wonder if the new version is going to open with the host saying "It's 12:36 
and 59 seconds."

Re: [TV orNotTV] late late night news

2023-02-08 Thread M-D November 
*raises hand*

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really enjoyed the original run of 
@midnight and was not happy when CC pulled it, so I'm glad to see it coming 
back in some form. 

I do have concerns that having the show air on CBS will tone down some of 
the humor, but I can see the panel remaining heavy on comedians - the 
original tried a few episodes with less-comedically-inclined actor types 
and the results were not great - although the key concern is going to be 
who gets tapped as host.  With Hardwick out of the picture (I thought he 
got cleared of his accusations, since he was back on AMC, but...*shrug*), 
finding someone who can manage the pace of the game and still keep up the 
manic energy of a show that described itself as "Jeopardy but with dick 
jokes" is going to be critical for the success of the show.

And for what it's worth, #f**kspacekaren.

Re: [TV orNotTV] late late night news

Hard to believe anyone in the world has been crossing their fingers hoping
for an @Midnight reboot. But this is exactly the kind of choice that makes
sense: easy to produce, allows for stars of films to TV shows to serve as
panelists to pimp projects (totally expect at least one non-comic chair per
night) and, most of all, very cheap. From what I can tell Corden makes
$9M/year. Whoever hosts this new thing will I suspect make no more than 10%
of that.

They could have made up a new format, but one is as good as another, and I
guess they already own this one. Find a likable youngish host ( if this
were NBC the host would be Bowen Yang, not sure if the Paramount Universe
has anyone similar - maybe a TDS correspondent?).

Re: [TV orNotTV] late late night news

2023-02-07 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
Unless the new host (whenever that is announced) of The Daily Show moves the 
program out west, Kimmel will be the sole late night west coast program.
The Hardwick-hosted version of @midnight focused on comedians.  Since Hardwick 
isn't attached, it's possible the show may cast a wider booking net.
Strictly speaking, @midnight was a panel show, which is the kind of program SCG 
is attached to.  My interest in any new version of @midnight (or @12:37, I 
suppose) will rely on whomever hosts the show.
